Clement Turpin has been assigned to officiate the Europa League quarter-final battle between Milan and Roma, so who is the French referee?
The Rossoneri and Giallorossi are ready to battle it out in the first leg of their last-eight tie in the Europa League, which kicks off at 20.00 UK time at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. The clash is their first meeting in the cup for almost two decades.
Milan and Roma have already faced each other twice in Serie A this term, with Stefano Pioli’s side getting the edge in both meetings. Things are different now, however, as Daniele De Rossi has rejuvenated the Romans since his arrival back in January.
